krb5_enctype_to_string generates a fairly verbose output, not the sort
of thing klist wants in its output; klist wants a more compact form,
therefore, klist has its own enctype-to-string function. kadmin is
going to want the short form too. In fact, I'm not convinced that the
long form is ever the aesthetically correct thing; anyone that doesn't
understand DES-CBC-CRC isn't going to understand "DES cbc mode with
CRC-32" either, and the former is prettier to look at.
I propose that the format of enctype_to_string be changed to be like
what klist prints; then we should change klist and kadmin to use that
function.
